This Workshop seeks to bring together the 5G/Internet of Things (IoT) technology (vertical) user communities and the 5G/IoT technology provider (horizontal) communities to discuss and outline licensing best practices and a Code of Conduct for licensing industry Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) that reflect and balance the legitimate needs of both communities and so ensure fair and efficient licensing in the IoT. The Workshop will also consider ways to improve and ideally streamline or make the licensing process more systematic.

The consensus outcome of the Workshop will be published as a CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA).
